General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You have a septated cyst of the liver while echotexture & echogenicity is normal. Portal vein is also normal. The cyst is small & will not cause symptoms. Such cysts are commonly benign (non-cancerous). They can cause symptoms only when they grow larger in size, more than 4cms across, before that the treating doctor will suggest removal by surgery to avoid it from becoming malignant.

To prevent growth of cyst, avoid taking alcohol, smoking or food that are toxic for the liver. Take food that is good for the liver and take digestives and liver tonic.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
